Go: The live broadcast queen launched a gorgeous rebellion against the dog

"Wen Jie, what's the situation?"

At nine o’clock in the evening on April 4, Luojing City, Central Plains Province.

Shang Chaotian, chairman of the Chess Association, who was in Luojing City to support the Chess Saint War, came to Lu Wenjie's room tired after a day of work and socializing to inquire about the coordination and handling of a troublesome matter.

"…Did Lin Ruixin agree to participate in the competition?"

"Ah! No..."

Lu Wenjie shook his head and smacked his lips to give a preliminary answer:
"He still said the same thing - he doesn't agree that Rui Zhao's identity as the 'Nongshim Cup Terminator' is qualified to participate in the King of Kings Tournament.

"If we insist on holding the King of Kings Tournament according to the original personnel and schedule, he will withdraw from this tournament!"

"..."

After hearing what his deputy said, Shang Chaotian remained silent for a while.

In the past two days, the entire Chinese chess world has been in an uproar again.

As a major event held only every two years, the Chess Master Tournament should have been the focus of all Chinese chess fans, but now it was overshadowed by another incident:
Lin Ruixin publicly threatened to withdraw from the competition on social media the night before yesterday, demanding that the King of Kings competition change the finalists, otherwise he would withdraw from the competition to make his attitude clear.

This statement and action immediately caused an uproar in the entire Chinese chess world, and also shocked the leaders of the association!

In fact, before Lin Ruixin published this social media update, he privately called Shang Chaotian and made a very impolite request, but was unsurprisingly rejected by Shang Chaotian.

Although Shang Chaotian understood to a certain extent that Lin Ruixin was worried about being hit by Rui Zhao's flying knife again in the competition, he also said that he would persuade Rui Zhao and Ni Jue to let go of their previous grudges and not target them anymore.

But Lin Ruixin didn't accept these explanations at all!
After his request was rejected, the great chess master Lin directly issued a public update to put pressure on the association and the organizers, with an attitude of "either Zhao or I", which made it difficult for the chess association!

You know, this time, the King of Kings Tournament is already lacking champion chess players who are qualified to participate!
With great difficulty, Rui Zhao was brought in to make up the six players, and by changing to a single round-robin system, a decent competition framework was established.

But Lin Ruixin's incident gave Shang Chaotian another headache! So after finishing his socializing today, he came back to ask about the communication between Lu Wenjie and Lin Ruixin, but there was still no progress.

The two people in the room were silent for several seconds before Shang Chaotian spoke:
"Today I had a special call with Shengjiang City. Shengjiang hoped that we could persuade Lin Ruixin to stay.

“But regarding letting Rui Zhao compete… they won’t make any concessions.

"If Lin Ruixin insists on not participating in the competition, Shengjiang City hopes that both sides can work together to find a reasonable substitute candidate so that the competition can be successfully held."

"This is normal."

Lu Wenjie continued:

"Faced with the threat from the other side, even if we find a way out, it would be extremely cowardly to admit defeat. If we give in, where will Shengjiang City put its reputation?

“What’s more, in terms of commercial value, on one side is the outdated seven-time champion who hasn’t won a championship in more than four years, and on the other side is a young role model appointed by the General Administration who is constantly improving in performance and has good appearance and conduct. It’s not difficult to choose!
"Brother Tian, ​​this time...

"Should we also punish Lin Ruixin in some way?

"Otherwise, if he caused such a big problem for Shengjiang and we remained indifferent, it would leave a very bad impression on the sponsors..."

Hearing this, Shang Chaotian couldn't help but smile bitterly:

"Oh, your suggestion is exactly the same as Lao Kong's!

"When I discussed this with him on the phone today, he stressed that we must not indulge Lin Ruixin this time.

"He also feels that some minor controversial words and deeds in the past can be ignored, but threatening to participate in the competition and publicly questioning the decisions of the organizers and the association, this kind of behavior must not be tolerated..."

"Brother, what was your thought that day..."

"Give him a one-month ban! We really need to teach him a lesson!"

Shang Chaotian sighed lightly and then said:

"Old Kong also agreed! Wen Jie, if you have no objection, schedule a short video conference with the members of the Executive Committee tomorrow morning and go through the process later!"

Hmm, it’s only been a month since such a big fuss…

Brother Tian still protects him out of habit.

Lu Wenjie muttered to himself.

However, when he thought about how Lin Ruixin had gone through such a mess in the last chess battle, but had not received any real punishment, the vice chairman of the chess association did not find it strange, and nodded and replied:

"I have no objection! This is a quick and easy way to cut the Gordian knot!
“Putting an end to this matter by directly banning the game will also help to stop online public opinion as soon as possible and reduce the impact!

"However, this means that there will only be five players in the King of Kings Tournament. This sixth player...

"What's the appropriate thing to do?"

Things have come to this point, and it is a foregone conclusion that Lin Ruixin will miss the King of Kings competition, but the problem has not been completely resolved.

Five people, even in the next round-robin tournament, is really too shabby!
However, Shang Chaotian was prepared for this.

"actually……

"This is another reason why Lao Kong and I suggested that Lin Ruixin be banned for one month."

Shang Chaotian replied slowly:
"Today, Lao Kong flew to Dongjiang and communicated with the sponsor of the Dragon Star Tournament, the Dongying Chess Media Company. I also coordinated with Shengjiang for a long time, and finally came up with a plan to deal with it.

"Our current preliminary plan is to swap the Dragon Star Tournament and the King of Kings Tournament's match dates!
“本来5月10号到25号的龙星战改为2号到17号举行，而王中王赛则由五月初推后至19号到25号。”

"Ah? You mean...

"Let the new champion of the Dragon Star Tournament be the sixth contestant?!"

"Well, that's the plan."

Hearing Shang Chaotian say this, Lu Wenjie quickly understood.

Lin Ruixin was banned for one month, preventing him from participating in the next Dragon Star Tournament.

In addition to warning this leader of his generation and giving an explanation to Shengjiang City, it is also to determine a new champion to participate in the King of Kings competition as much as possible.

But soon, Lu Wenjie frowned again:

"Brother Ketian, to be honest, banning only Lin Ruixin...I'm afraid it won't be of much use!

"Right now, the two best players in the country are obviously Xiao Lei and Sun Yi. I estimate that the two of them together have at least a 70% chance of winning the championship. However, both of them have already entered the King of Kings. If one of them wins the Dragon Star Championship..."

"Hey, Wen Jie!
"Aren't you usually more capable than me? Why can't you turn around now?

"We are related!"

Shang Chaotian explained with a wry smile:
“The Dragon Star Tournament is, after all, a small competition, and it’s quite tiring.

“As long as you promise to give some compensation in the future, some things can be discussed.

"Lei Qi is my student, I can go talk to him.

"As for Sun Yi, I'm not that close to him, but...

“I can also let my students talk to him.”

...

...

"oops!

"It's okay, it's okay, little monkey, don't be depressed!
"Next time I'll find a chance to give Xiao Lei a good scolding and help you vent your anger!"

April 4th was the last day before the Labor Day holiday. At 29: pm, the final of the Chess Grandmaster Tournament Challenger had just ended.

Liu Yuhong, who had finally gotten through to her boyfriend on the phone, was now constantly comforting him, even at the cost of using her own junior fellow student as a potential sacrifice.

Why comfort?

Today, Sun Yi lost to Lei Qi again in the decisive battle of the Chess Saint Challenger, and lost the qualification to challenge for the title of [Chess Saint].

What made Monkey King even more depressed was that this was not the first time he lost to Lei Qi in these days.

In the winner's group final the day before yesterday, he also fought hard with white and lost to his opponent, so after losing again today, he looked a bit emo.

"It's not so bad! I don't need your help to do anything unconventional."

Sun Yi on the other end of the phone reluctantly made a small joke, but his tone was full of forced laughter:
"I just keep losing to Master Liu and Xiao Lei recently, and I feel a little frustrated."

"what……"

Hearing this, Liu Yuhong pursed his lips, feeling a little uncomfortable.

In fact, in Liu Yuhong's opinion, Sun Wukong has been working hard in the past six months. His strength has been steadily improving, and he has become second only to Lei Qi in the country.

But the problem is that the shortcoming of having difficulty breaking through when getting started is still the biggest problem for today's chess masters.

He lost to Liu Shixian twice in the semi-finals of LIG Cup and Sanshuang Cup, and had almost no obvious chances at all.

In this year's Tianyuan Tournament, Chunzhilan Cup and Qisheng Tournament, he lost four times in a row to Lei Qi, the recognized leader of the next generation.

There has been no new breakthroughs or championships, which inevitably makes Sun Yi, who has always aspired to win the world championship, a little frustrated for a while.

"I'm sorry Monkey, I shouldn't have asked you to withdraw from the Dragon Star Wars this time."

Liu Yuhong said apologetically:

"Originally, since Xiao Lei withdrew from the Dragon Star Tournament and Lin Ruixin was banned, you had a good chance of winning the championship to cheer yourself up..."

"Ah, no no!
"If I win the Dragon Star Championship, it will be very difficult for the Association!"

Noticing that his girlfriend seemed to be worried, Sun Yi hurriedly raised his voice and said:
“Besides, it’s actually a good thing for me - what I lack right now is a big championship, small competitions won’t quench my thirst!

"It just so happens that I don't have to participate in the Dragon Star Tournament this time, so I can take this time to adjust myself. The King of Kings will also be a big competition, so I can get my chance back then!
"Don't worry, it's okay!"

Well……

He is so out of tune, and now he is less and less like a monkey...

After hearing this, Liu Yuhong couldn't help but smile slightly:

"Yeah! Monkey, you're the best! I'm waiting for your good news!"

"Uh-huh!
"Ah, I remember that you, Yu Hong, are going to have a Lakeside Cup meeting tonight? I'm fine, don't worry!
"I'll be back tomorrow!"

"Oh, okay, see you tomorrow then!"

After hanging up the phone, Empress Liu glanced at the time - the meeting at 7 o'clock was only five minutes away. So she quickly opened the video software and went online to the reserved online conference room.

The new Lakeside Cup will open in South Korea on May 5. There will be seven matches in the first stage, and the subsequent second stage will also be held in South Korea in October.

The main purpose of today's meeting is to confirm the candidates for the vanguard and second striker, so as to organize the overseas expedition after the holiday.

After getting on board, the little bird found that almost everyone was there.

In addition to coach Jiao Kai, there are three other players who passed the preliminaries: Zou Yang, Yang Manjing and Zhong Wan.

Together with Liu Yuhong and Rui Zhao who were exempt from the selection, these are all the members of the Chinese team that will be participating in the Lakeside Cup.

However, the reason why it is said to be "basically all present" is because only one of the two exempted from the election has arrived...

"Um...where's Rui Zhao?"

Liu Yuhong couldn't help but ask after he came online.

"I didn't invite her to the meeting today."

Jiao Kai replied:
"In the first phase, she is a strong general and will not participate in the battle. It is useless to call her. Instead, she will sit there holding a tablet and doing questions, which will affect the atmosphere of the meeting. It is better to let her do her own thing.

"Well, let's say...

"Yu Hong, do you have any objection to her being the commander?"

“That’s not the case!
"Now she has to be careful when she is under Monkey King. I dare not touch her!"

Faced with Jiao Kai's little joke, Liu Yuhong calmed himself down and responded in the same joking manner.

When Jiao Kai saw that everyone was present, he livened up the atmosphere and began to get to the point:
"Okay, let's not waste any more of your time! Let's get straight to the point and make it short!

"Today's meeting is mainly to make a preliminary decision on the candidates for the forward and the secondary forward. They will follow Wen Jie and I to South Korea after the holiday. After all, it would be troublesome and expensive for everyone to go at once, so we have to streamline the staff.

"In the afternoon, I communicated with the coaching staff internally, that...

“Zhong Wan!
"If you don't have any personal objections, can you be the pioneer this time?"

"Ah."

The 25-year-old round-faced girl from Jinfen nodded naturally.

This arrangement is not surprising - among the five players in this Lakeside Cup, Rui Zhao is the undisputed number one in the country and the iron general.

The three members of "Sheep, Bird and Witch" have similar strength and form the second echelon.

Zhong Wan, who had the lowest rank and strength, was naturally the vanguard candidate. She was not surprised at all.

"Very good! That's it!"

Seeing that Zhong Wan was very straightforward, Jiao Kai was in a good mood. After finalizing the topic, he immediately moved on to the next topic:

"Next...it's the second striker!
"Anyone want to go to South Korea with us after the holidays?"

Unlike the vanguard about which there was almost no doubt, Jiao Kai planned to seek the opinions of Yang, Niao and Wu for the selection of the second vanguard.

Right now the three of them are of similar strength, so any one of them can be the leader.

Instead of trying to guess who would be the vanguard for Japan and South Korea to deploy the troops, it would be more appropriate to ask the players' personal wishes first.

Ci Feng...you'd better just refuse it!
At least spend more time with the monkey...

Thinking of her boyfriend who has been in a bad mood recently, Xiao Xiaoniao secretly decided to try to move herself back in the order of competition.

Unexpectedly, before she could even think of the specific words to refuse, a clear girl's voice rang out in the online conference room:
“Coach Jiao, me me me!”

"Ah! Xiao Yang, you are so positive!"

Seeing that some players were willing to take the initiative to fight, Jiao Kai was very happy:
"Can!
"If others have no objection, then the second choice will be Xiao Yang..."

However, before Jiao Kai finished speaking, the little witch interrupted him hastily:
"Wait a minute, Coach Jiao! Don't be so impatient!

"It is true that I do plan to go to South Korea with Sister Zhong Wan...

“But if I could…

"I want to fight as a vanguard!" (End of this chapter)
